Armor

Armor

Armor reduces incoming damage and often comes with movement penalties, resistances, or set bonuses. Most armor sets have three core pieces (helmet, chest, legs), and many players add a cape separately for utility or resistance.

🧾 How the totals work

• **Base set cost** = crafting cost for quality 1 of each piece.
• **Upgrade cost to max** = the additional materials needed to upgrade each piece from quality 1 up to its maximum.
• Most sets upgrade to **quality 4**, but some late-game sets are currently limited to **quality 3**. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
• Costs below are based on the Valheim Wiki armor tables (recipes shown per quality). :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

🧥 Capes

Capes usually add low armor, but can provide strong utility (resistances, feather fall, etc). See: Capes.
